Perfection. The "comes a time" for this show gets all the attention but this SOF is just as grand

Tennessee Jed
May 12, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

@freedomhaul I enjoy listening to T-Jed while walking w/Grendel (obviously the guy in the pic) in the woods round my stomping grounds too, especially the part where his doggie turns to him and he sez.....gets me every time. btw if you haven't already check out the T-Jed from 10-10-82!
He's Gone

Lakeland Civic Center

So good. This whole show could be listed.
The Other One
March 20, 1977
Winterland Arena

This is going to be in the rotation for a good long while. I'm slowly, maybe swiftly, falling in love with this version, which has all the precision of 1977 but also adds some great power playing by Jerry and a very delicate post lyrics jazzy flow that eventually drifts gently into a mild kind of space and then out into the fields of Stella Blue. It needs more love to be appreciated.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 25, 1982
Bob Marley Performing Arts Center

Pretty good if not a great version that probably deserves more respect. The transition into fire is really nice and the fire has the appropriate reggae feel for the venue.
Stella Blue
March 20, 1977
Winterland Arena

Delicate, beautiful start, Jerrylicious finish. Should be higher.
